Great Expectations

Can you plant flowers in the plain old dirt?
Can you get back up when you're feeling hurt
When life doesn't meet your great expectations?
Can you turn lemons into lemonade?
Can you face the dark when you feel afraid
When life doesn't meet your great expectations?

You're looking, you're searching
You don't know if you'll find the answers
You're hoping something's gonna change

Oh, I hear you, days go by
Does life feel like a revolving door?
You changed your mind
You may not feel like it did before

Just takes some time to realize
That walking out the door could take you somewhere
(You've never been before)
You've never been before, no no

Can you break down but still be strong
When you disagree can you get along?
When life doesn't meet your great expectations
When you look at yourself, tell me who do you see?
Do you see yourself or who you want to be?
Do you live up to your great expectations?

You're looking, you're searching
You don't know if you'll find the answers
You're hoping something's gonna change

Oh, I hear you, days go by
Does life feel like a revolving door?
You changed your mind
You may not feel like you did before

Just takes some time to realize
That walking out the door could take you somewhere
(You've never been before)

Can you plant flowers in the plain old dirt?
Can you get back up when you're feeling hurt?
Whoa oh
